You want to count yourself lucky if that was all they were doing in response to it

I have but one word to say: Howard..

Dont see many with Sky+ so i would have to say those ones that you get just before and after the commercial break, the sponsors adverts.

If only because you cant help but catch them when you slow down to normal speed.

Oh and anything which takes a popular old or classic song and rearranges the words to fit the advert, why songwriters allow this to happen i will never understand.

I try to be fair, I have watched all the adverts, and my considered opinion is ......I Hate Them All. There have been many irritating adverts produced, in the last few years, but none can compete with the smarmy old Ovaltine ads.

All together now....we are the Ovaltinies happy girls and boys.....now that's a song to have stuck in your mind for days

. Nothing they produce nowadays is half as irritating.

Thanks to this thread I am now humming the blasted thing.

You're giving your age away Jo...

Do you think it out-smarms the old 'I'd like to buy the world a Coke' ads?

I was an exceptionally precocious child, my memories being older than my teeth!

I don't really know if I saw the original ads. They just seem to be there in my subconscious memory. The coke ads. don't really bother me, the Christmas ones are quite cheery.

or should I say cheesy?

the one the grips my **** is the woodstain advert for the fence panels with the laughing policeman song there all over weight stereotypical english people who would never dream of painting the fence unless they had a device that sprayed left over gravy from sunday roast on to the surface from there ice cream face stuffing deck chairs 6 feet away.

and ill put money on it it doesnt work properly

.and the filler advert that smooths walls in one application...jesus.

There is the M&S insurance one with Jodie Kidd I think.

They have her in a stock car racing when she has an accident, they mention hire car cover, then her stock car breaks down and they mention free breakdown recovery and then show her racing car being recovered.

Of course while all this is going on, at the bottom of the screen it says "Cars used for racing and competition excluded."

ANY ad on the radio. They seem to be unable to grasp the content of humour.

Then the (extremely quickly spoken) terms and conditions still last longer than the actual ad

Xaccers · 04-05-2007, 09:02

The Coke Zero ones. Coke Zero is bad enough but why did they have to have ads to match?
The current really annoying Lynx ones.

Halcyon · 04-05-2007, 09:17

Anny advert featuring the 118 characters. Not funny at all.

Noooo... the Lynx ads! Good reason not to watch anything other than BBC.
